Los Angeles
BLUE JAY Way, a street that inspired a Beatles song, snakes above Los Angeles, lined with glassy mansions that jut like diving boards from earthquake-prone cliffs.
One of the houses, a mid-century bungalow with an oval pool and a panoramic vista of the Los Angeles basin, rents for US$27,000 a month. The owner, who lives in London, paid US$2.25 million, or US$835 a square foot, two years ago for the three-bedroom, three-bath home.
"This is a very safe investment," Tyrone McKillen, an agent with Beverly Hills, California-based brokerage Hilton & Hyland Real Estate Inc, said as he walked through 1505 Blue Jay Way. "It's all about the view." While the cliffside properties seem perfectly perched for a Hollywood disaster movie, they're the equivalent of "safety deposit boxes" for wealthy global investors, according to Jonathan Miller, president of appraiser Miller Samuel Inc.
